All I have for experience with the 143’s is at the “range” shooting out to 1000. No issue on the wind holds I was just wanting to weigh the options of a slower/heavier projectile at distance vs a faster/lighter projectile. I really like the hammer performance and I am trying to minimize wind...
Looking for experience out past 500 yards, specifically in the wind. I have a load worked up for the 143 in my 7LRM and it shoots extremely well. My concern is the wind deflection. Trying to decide if the 169 is a better option at long distance. I like the idea of a faster projectile however...
Thank you for the replies so far. For me weight is an issue as this will primarily be used on public land with long walks with all gear. For the area I will be hunting a long shot would be 200 yards with 70-100 being the norm. Still undecided but after reading the above I am leaning more toward...
A Smokeless muzzleloader is a completely new subject to me. Where I live there is an area that muzzleloaders are the only rifle allowed for the entire season. I currently own an inline that works fine (except for the cleaning). I was looking into upgrading and smokeless seems like the way to go...
I do not have a source for data other than my experience. I have tried several bullet/powder combos. Shoot me a message if you want some data from my experiences.
I just ordered a box of 200, so I am looking for some experience with the 143 HH out of the 7 LRM. These days I don't have the powder selection I once did, so I would like to use H1000 as I have more of that than anything.
I agree that the brass was contaminated before annealing. If you wanted to know for sure I would Scotch-Brite the suspected “over annealed” brass resize it and load a projectile the pull the projectile. I would do the same process for another piece of annealed brass that is not suspected to be...
